I guess I just failed miserably at being holiday-generic, what with the Ho Ho part, huh? Since I've also failed msierably at keeping up with my blog, I'm going to do a little shameless self-promotion -- by coercing you into checking out the two latest Boomer Babe Web ... http://probizpartners.com/blog/2007/12/13/ho-ho-hoooooooo/ What do a senator, a Ferry mogul, and a stand-up comic have in common?

Instead of writing a new blog, check out the one that I just posted on our Boomer Babe Web Marketing blog. Hopefully it will give you a laugh. And maybe even a little food for thought. Now get ... http://probizpartners.com/blog/2007/10/07/lazy-day/ Spain is not a litigious society. Not yet.

Getting to Spain proved to be quite an interesting adventure. The fares are high now, although they are normally much lower in the fall. I was so intent on going that I spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for airfares to save some money. ... http://probizpartners.com/blog/2007/09/18/pinching-pennies-and-getting-bruised/ I can't believe how long it's been since I've written.
